Dear CIMA Students and Members, Welcome to the seventh edition of CIMA Pulse. It gives us immense pleasure to connect with you through this bi-monthly newsletter. For those who don't know me yet, I am Reena Dsilva and I head the Student & Member team at CIMA in India. It is therefore my pleasure and privilege to write the introduction to this edition of Pulse and to update you on the activities & milestone achievements of the Student and Member Support team The student and member support team is responsible for ensuring that you remain engaged with CIMA, are supported to complete your qualification and acquire membership. We also support new students to register with CIMA. We conduct a number of activities to meet these objectives, such as revision lectures, PER workshops, CPD activities and networking events, member testimonials and case studies, counselling and registration support for new students, etc. I am ably supported by other two team members – Tasneem Kapasi – who takes of prospects and new students and Sweedrina Dsouza, who supports existing students and members. This year, our activities have helped to see a considerable increase in the number of students appearing for the May 2013 exam diet, as compared to previous exam diets. Top CIMA exams are now held four times a year, of which two diets are PC based exams
at select centres. We have also now introduced strategic level re-sits on PC in March and September. There are now a large number of students therefore, who are at the TOPCIMA or Exams complete stage. PER workshops over web conferences have been started to help them file their membership applications. We are also working towards conducting face-toface membership assessments in India, by the end of the year. We have 24 new members joining the global network of CGMA ACMA professionals so far in 2013! Congratulations on acquiring the CIMA Membership. In the calendar for the rest of the year are CPD activities for members, the India Membership Advisory Committee, a photo shoot in Bangalore, to add to our repository of student and member testimonials and many more exciting new initiatives. Most of our initiatives are borne by your ideas and feedback and implemented due to your support. So please keep the feedback and opinion coming in. We would love to see, hear and meet you at our various online and offline forums. Always, feel free to get in touch with me or the Student and Member support team at india@cimaglobal.com . Hope you enjoy this edition. Regards, Reena Dsilva Manager – Student and Member Support CIMA India.
